Top Tallest List

I've been thinking about this post for quite a while and I finally got around to doing it! I'm tall. If you know me, you should at least know that much! This is my personal list of the everyday issues of being tall--bahahaha ;)


1.People asking if you played volleyball or basketball--you clearly have never seen me play sports

2. Trying to find pants that are long enough--I dream of pants that drag on the ground!

3. Finding a skirt that isn't actually a halter top dress. (The struggle is real!)

4. Being judged for wearing heels (don't even think about attempting stilettos, unless you want to break your neck!)

5.Tiny bathroom stalls--if I don't hunch I can see over into everyone's stall... awkward

6. Trying to fit in the bathtub. The phrase go take a nice relaxing tub never applies

7. Trying to sit at a desk and scoot in--I just want to cross my legs!

8.Having to wear undershirts with EVERY SINGLE thing

9. The awkward knee bend when you take pictures--blend, trying to blend!

10. Hugs--lower, lower, LOWER! You can't be very huggable at this height yo, and never get to "nestle" with the side squish, boo!

11. Shoes. Shoes besides flip flops that don't look like old grandma style

12. One size fits all gloves. Need I say more?

13. Tripping over everything even your own feet because your height causes an unnatural lack of balance

14. People telling you that you're tall. Wait, what? No way, really?! 

Falling asleep--or not

It's late, and I can't sleep.  Today I stayed home sick after some convincing last night--I usually tough it out unless I am physically unable to get out of bed.  Momma dropped off some apple cider and movies for me to watch (thanks for making me cry!) And Chels kept my kids and even brought them home to me after dance.  The day alone proved to be exactly what I needed in more than one way--at least a start.  Things have been changing, as I'm told they often do.  How many times can I write a sentence just to backspace and start over? This is a good example of where I'm at, though.  How quickly balance is lost--here it goes.

Running. Such wonderful self discoveries while running, and in the beautiful fall weather.  I battle myself to go these days--it's a strange feeling not wanting to do anything but trying to convinced yourself otherwise at the same time! Some days I want to push harder and harder, until I actually do and then I want to quit. 

The leaves on this tree were so pretty I saw a few weeks back while I was running!

This is the road right by Grandma.  I love it there, it's so peaceful. I go there often to talk with her, if I'm having a hard day, questioning where I belong, or sometimes just to cry.  I can say anything and everything and I know she will still be there --still love me no matter what. Except that she's not. Here I mean. Go ahead and laugh now, I talk to people who no longer exist! Removed--have you ever felt like that?

Well now that I've succeeded at saying a bunch of absolutely nothing anyone will be able to make sense of, I think I will try to sleep. After I find me some chocolate of course! Goodnight.
